Yes do you have children? I had the police called on me for taking my kid to the park last time i took a vacation out east to a big city. My kid is not the same 'race' as me ergo Karen called and they detained my child for an hour because that was suspicious (I filed FOIA and got bodycam and overheard the witch's complaint on the radio).

Now imagine there was no parent at all...

Unless you live in a really bad ghetto where everybody has bars on their windows and people warn you to get off the streets before sundown, US police are the most likely to harm or take people without cause.

Yes? There are plenty of stories of exactly this happening. People see a kid walking on their own, call the cops, who scoop up the kid and charge the parents with child endangerment because they were "abandoned". Get unlucky, and CPS will be involved.

On the other hand, child kidnapping by strangers isn't really a common thing. The vast majority of kids going "missing" just did something like going over to play with the neighbour's kids without telling their parents, and the remainder is taken by their own family. Of the roughly 800.000 kids going missing each year, only 100 or so are genuinely abducted by a stranger.

So no, a child being more likely to be abducted by a cop than by a stranger isn't as strange of a claim as it may initially seem.

Well they're not allowed to beat up and intimidate criminals, so what else are they supposed to do? We've turned police into armed Karens.
